According to johnnyboy224 on Wizard Central, here is what some of us are
waiting for:

Wizard101™ Housing​

The next major new content being developed by KingsIsle Entertainment for Wizard101 is an elaborate housing element called Wizard Castles. At the basic level, all players, including Free-to-play (FTP), will be able to decorate their dorms at the Ravenwood School of Magic with hundreds of new items from wallpaper to in-game trophies. In addition there will be modest and luxury private housing options that give players a place to invite their friends and showcase their Wizard101 style inside and outside their own virtual space.

All players start out with a dorm room. Upgraded housing can be purchased using in-game gold. Beginning in the world of Krokotopia, a turtle character will be the housing vendor. A separate real estate agent NPC will help players activate their selected house. Players will teleport to their own house or over to a friend’s house via their Friends List. KingsIsle expects to launch housing to subscribers on the test realm in April, followed by a live launch for all Wizard101 players shortly thereafter.



Housing features include:

• Three tiers of housing: Dorms, Modest private Castles and Lands, Luxury private Castles and Lands
• Two different housing styles for each Wizard101 world, beginning in Krokotopia
• More than 800 decorative housing items such as plants, statues, wall hangings, columns, pictures, furniture, etc.
• Many variations, including more than 20 different types of detailed wallpaper and flooring
• Ability to decorate interior and exterior of houses
• Obtain decorations through in-game gold, PvP Arena Points, quest rewards, exploration, defeat of select bosses, common or rare enemy drops, and Crown (microtransaction) purchase.

Yeah, glad we'll have something better to spend it on than the new crown items.

Something fun to do after beating Malistaire for every wizard you create.

Most importantly we will have a place to meet up and see our friends again. Not sure how this is going to work if you have more than one player. But so looking forward to it. Since I rarely play my first. I never see any dis players

I know what you mean! After the big wipe, when the game went live, I never had the chance to rebuild my friends list. I am alone on there most of the time with a few execptions. I am playing my second character along with my DH's first, so my palying time is limited to when he is home and awake. LOL!

I hope the new features will ispire more activity and get me my friends back!! LOL!!

I really can't wait to build something..............

I wonder if each of our characters will have their own room or will it be a shared room?? Or will my storm wizard be able to go into my death wizard's room??

Bring it on!
